Marquard Kruse von Sande († before 1267 ) was a knight and at the same time a citizen of Würzburg from the von Sande family and, as the stewardess of the Würzburg bishop Iring von Reinstein-Homburg, mediator of conflicts between the bishop and the Würzburg citizens, in 1265 together with Albertus Magnus .

Life

Marquard Kruse von Sande was the son of the knight of the same name Marquard Kruse von Sande and was married to Lutgard von Heidingsfeld. From this marriage the children Marquard, Rutger, Gisela and Mergard emerged. It is documented in the period from 1245 to 1265. In the Sander-Vorstadt, today part of Würzburg , he owned a larger manor called Curia Crusonis . Other possessions were also in Randersacker and Gerbrunn . Together with his sister Jutta, he ceded his seat “Curia Crusonis” to the Order of St. John . After the death of her husband, the knight Friedrich von Krensheim , Jutta assumed his inheritance. As a witness, Marquard sealed a series of documents on behalf of the bishop. He also appeared several times mediating in conflicts, including in 1265 together with Albertus Magnus in a dispute between the bishop and the citizens of Würzburg. The fighting that broke out in the city was ended by a treaty on August 26, 1265.

With regard to the service for Bishop Iring von Reinstein-Homburg, reference should also be made to the legend dated 1254 of the siege of Altenstein Castle by the bishop and his knights, during which Bishop Iring allegedly lost his nose. The wording of this legend cannot be proven historically, but its political background can be sufficiently supported by sources.
